LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1838. The Corn-law question is making great progress in the country, and we are happy to acknowledge the truth of the Herald's assertion (with one ex ception) " that a scheme of agitation is on foot for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and for the overthrow of landowners and . farmers—a scheme more comprehen sive and profound than has ever been organised in our day for the attainment of any political object whatever." We dissent from the assertion that the scheme contemplates or wishes the overthrow of the farmers. All the rest of the industrious classes are well assured that their interest is closely knit with that of the farmers ; but those who promote the abolition of the Corn-laws are thoroughly convinced that the farmers, when not also landowners, are completely deluded to their own injury and ruin, by the false pretences of the landlords ; and those who promote the abolition of the Corn-laws know well that the abolition of the Corn-laws will serve and save the farmers, though they du not and will not hypocritically pretend that they have any such object in view. They go for right and justice ; they stand up for freedom and honesty, they resist wide-spread, low-minded oppression and plunder disguised under the mantle of law, and though their determination should carry ruin to the farmers — as they know its success would make them prosperous and wealthy—yet woeuld they not lay aside that deter mination, nor cease to prosecute it to a successful con clusion. On the situation of the farmers the following observations are appropriate : "TO THE FARMERS. " An Address on the Corn-laws. By the Dysart Parish Anti-Corn-law Association, showing their effect 3 upon the interests of the Farmer, &c. " Farmers, Cultivators of the soil, you will no doubt have observed that the above question has been again brought be fore Parliament, and an inquiry into the subject refused. Our legislators are a packed Jury on this question. The landlords have artificially created for themselves an overwhelming power in the Government of this country, and while they profess to have the good of the country for their object, they have legis lated on this point for their own immediate, we will not say, best interests " All capitalists and labourers (and farmers are just capi talists) are just now suffering from an excess of capital and people, but all other classes are suffering from the same cause. There is an excess of farmers seeking farms, of shopkeepers seeking customers, of manufacturers and merchants, of doc tors without patients, clergymen without charges, lawyers without briefs, of sailors and soldiers, of architects, painters, and musicians, of tradesmen, and others without employment, and all uneasy. It' rent bear a proportion to price, the flamer derives no advantage from high prices. He is merely a capi talist, and his profit depends not so much upon prices as upon the rent he pays his landlord ; even where leases arc given, the average of a number of years being taken, the result is just the same. The effect of the Corn.-law is to make prices more fluctitatin7, by liriting the market ; and who does not know that steadiness of prices is, more than any other circum stance, essential to the well-being of the farmer ? " On the other band, while the farmer gains nothing by the Corn-laws, not only suffers, cr is often rumel by the fluc tuation of pvices caused by these hateful statutes—a fluctuation o ther ci..epartment of busineis, eNce t that of unknown in every .agrieu • 1 , -r.. but he loss; mach also veriousPeommo dities which he. has to purchase, and which necessarily keep pace with that of corn. " Have these laws ma lc the land Igo interest t t p h r a o s sp s c u r ff 7 r s ed ? , By no means. On the contil nearly so much as that of the f r r ' n 'Y e ' r3 for the last 25 years. It has been fairly proven that the Coin a t a*l:aisn shshort,t, mis s chievous and delusive in its cleiracter, h v calculated to mislead and ruin all who have to do with the tiado in Corn. " You, farmers, :;re deluded into giving a h . igb rent for hod, neon the faith of n promise that is not fulfilled, nor are mesas tak,•n tILA it should be. The law pres ses to arse y‘a era. remuncratiog Frice, but it only tikes oae mcans of tit - filtieg its promise—namelv, by e!;elu , linc , foreign produce . It n) prceautions against abunfllnt liarvr-t.-;, nor does it .dare even to allow you the full benefit of . bad h ::: vest ; it , does :net prevent Colonial paOtr..c witil a low duty ; i does net pre vent ag,iculturil krprovernents. All cam.?s, tate law has no controul, may brinA , in a syreater quartoy lyo.o have been lcd to expect. It clrs.e. - ;ll(:t . biaff, tzulei it coulu oVe: limit the quantity effectually. The farmer must stand upon the brink of ruin so long as he calculates upon steady prices, while the certain effectof the present regulations is uncertainty in quantity and unsteadiness of price. The interest of the farmer is identical with that of all other capitalists. He will not obtain more than the average rate of profits, and the cer tainty of obtaining that is all that he desires." It is the firm belief, then, of those who are now zealously and determinedly resolved to put an end to one of the largest, most iniquitous, and most unholy schemes of plunder that ever were devised---a scheme which at once blasts the national prosperity, and, by entailing almost unnumbered woes on the working people, tends to root out all confidence in Providence —that the destruction of this scheme would be as greatly beneficial to the farmers and agricultural la bourers as to every other class of capitalists and work men. If they believed otherwise they would be driven to despair, for then indeed would be realized in their minds the lying theory of ignorant statesmen, that one class of industrious men can only thrive at the ex- pense, the misery, and ruin of some others. As to the landowners, for our part, we will honestly avow, that as long as they act on their scheme of limiting the supply of food to enrich themselves, as long as they tax our bread to keep up their own vanity—fair splendour, under the hypocritical pretence of providing for the public welfare, so long will we undisguisedly labour to overthrow the landowners if they are, by the abolition of the Corn-laws, to be overthrown. Now let us add, that the writer of this has some interest in land wholly and exclusively devoted to agriculture—that he was taught in his young days, .as he shared with no small pleasure the field sports of the landowners, to look up to them as amongst the first of men, and that while he will now fan against them to the utmost of his power, the hatred which their legislative proceedings so richly merit, he deeply regrets to know that their peddling, shop keeping cupidity has made all intelligent and enlightened men class the . once noble, free, and high-minded owners of his fatherland, amongst the most useless and noxious persons of the community. To overthrow them, and to overthrow with them that sorrowful system of never-ending interference with the employments, the sports, and the amusements--with the beer drink ing and skittle playing, with the shooting and hunting of the rural population, which has driven all self respect out of the bosoms of the peasantry of England, and made them really paupers in heart and mind, as well as in worldly circumstances, can only be a stimulus to the exertions of those (if such are to be the results, who now advocate) as the Glasgow Angus says, the unconditional repeal of the Corn-laws. We must now direct the attention of cur readers to an article we have copied from the Morning Herald, attacking our remarks, and are finite Riding to let that oo ly:forc our readers fcw comments. We i i , apprehend that our o n, ,oernp i orary s n error n sayin , 2 ._ that there are no Corn-laws in Hindostan. 'We have a different impression, but not. having the materials at hand to ascertain its correctness, we will only observe that Hindostan has a tariff which includes, we believe, articles of food. But it has in its Zemindar system, and in the controul exercised by its landowners over all the functions of a dministration to which tire East India Company have become heirs, what is quite equivalent to our Corn-laws, namely, a Le gislative scheme for taxing the food of the neeple to enrich the landowner. Oar Contemporary is wrong in saying that there arc no Corn-laws, or no equivalent in the French Tariff to Corn-laws, in France. Ireland labours -under the same ma lady as England, and the Corn-laws, by shutting out the corn of other countries, tend to prevent the labourers cf Ireland from getting food . We assert, in opposition to our Contemporary, that the Corn-laws narrow the market for native industry, and even impede the cultivation of our soil. They introduce no agricultural improvement ; they do not interfere with the laws which regulate production, ex cept indirectly ; they meddle only with distribution, being a contrivance to give more of the annual pro duce of industry than properly belongs to them, to the land-owner, and tithe-owner. How taking property from the industrious capitalist and labourers, and giving it to the two idle classes of land and tithe-owner.-:, can promote production, can . stimulate agricultural enter prize, excite agricultural ingenuity, or augment agricul tural industry, we are unable to comprehend. Our Contemporary misrepresents us as saying that the factory system takes its rise in the Corn-laws. We never said any thing so absurd. The factory system was in existence before 1815, the date of the Corn laws, and has its origin in very different causes. But we did affirm that the Corn-laws by rendering food scarce, and difficult to be procured by the work ing classes, force many of the mothers of England to adopt even false pretences in order to sell the labour of their children, whom they ought to be able amply to nourish by their own la bours. Not the factory system, but the scanty wages given to those who live in our manufacturing towns, and the poverty and destitution of the manu facturers, we attributed to the Corn-laws. Though the effects of famine do not make themselves so apparent here as in Hindostan, because our people are much accustomed to conceal distress, yet are the in stances we yesterday quoted, together with many others of the same character, distinct proofs that the masses here are continually the prey to deficiency of subsist , ence, or what we may call an incipient famine. If the Herald, or any other Journal, says that such a state has been so general or so universal in society as to be , natural, then, we reply, let the landowners, not take on themselves, by enacting Corn-laws, all the responsi bility of those tremendous evils. If the misery which keeps down population be the result of the laws of Nature, let the landlords not expose themselves, by step ping between Nature and the labourer, to all the odium of causing poverty, disease, want, and famine, and to the danger of being driven from their homes by an outraged people. We conclude, by reminding our Contemporary, that we are not responsible for the opinions of " the philosophers of our party," but only for our own. We have inserted elsewhere a letter signed " HU MANITY," on the subject of lunacy, which has been suggested, we presume, by the case of Mr. PATER NOSTER, reported in The Sun of Saturday last. The observations of the writer are dictated by sound sense as well as by humanity, and are well worthy of public attention. The power of immuring a person in a dun geon of lunatics is one of a most tremendous descrip tion, and cannot possibly be too narrowly watched. It is much too great to be entrusted to any one indi vidual, and in that respect, therefore, we hesitate not to say, that the law, as it exists at present, is shame fully defective. If any person with M.D. tacked to his name, can deprive a British subject of his liberty, by simply signing a certificate of lunacy, who is safe, even under the w? is of our boasted free Constitution ? How many are there whose interest it is to get lid of those who stand between them and the sun of fortune, or whose malevolent feelings may prompt them to carry vindictive proceedings to the most outrageous length ? To ail such the way is open to their object, through the instrumentality of the " Physician's" ipse dixit. Our Correspondent mentions some cases in which such crimes have been committed, and punished by the verdict, of a Jury. In others, the attempt has irridr: and defeLqcd br thr3 same means; but who can tell how mrtny unfortunates may have fallen vic tims to this ho:ribb syste.a without the means of kno , ,vn to the public? How many niav ha:e actu lily ly2com.o n.kvi h tI verj process adopted to prove them so ? What must be the effect upon those minds most exposed to the aberration of reason —upon those endowed with extreme sensibility —upon the delicate—the irritable—what, we ask, must be produced in such minds by such treatment as that to which Mr. PATERNOSTER has been sub jected ? To be seized by a band of ruffians, hand cuffed, and carried off to a living grave, where neither sight nor sound is seen or heard, but such as speak of madness; thus hourly bringing home to the mind the horror of such a situation, and the hopelessness of escape. Is not this enough to unhinge even a strong intellect ? Yet if, after such treatment, the heart flut ters, the pulse beats quick, or the brain is bewildered, the infallible " Doctor" pronounces with oracular solemnity his doom of " insanity I" Whether Mr. PATERNOSTER be insane'or not we do not presume to determine ; but of this we are cer tain, that no evidence of the fact has as yet been laid before the public. That his father signed the certifi cate which consigned him to a mad-house is nothing to the purpose, or rather it is a most s uspicious cir cumstance against the signer ; for it appears that the father and son had been living on bad terms, and it is not at all improbable that the former may have bad good cause to be exasperated against the latter. But for that very reason he should have been the last man in the world to put his name to such a cer. tificate. We have, too, the testimony of the person in whose house the supposed lunatic has lodged at intervals for the last five or six years, who stated that she has seen nothing like madness about him, though his temper is irritable ; that she would neither be afraid to trust herself or her daughter with him at any time, and that in fact he wan " no more mad than she was." As far therefore as the investigation at the Police-office on Saturday w ent, we have no hesitation in saying that, if the three paTties—the mad house people, the magistrate, and the presumed lunatic —are to be judged by the proceedings which then took place, the latter gave by far the strongest proofs of sanity. A Dublin paper, called the Statesman, pays us the very high compliment of saying that our first leader of August the 22d is " worthy of a place in Cos- BETT'S history. " As Mr. COBBETT was one of the most vigorous writers of the day, to have our humble daily labours so described is, we conceive, one of the highest compliments which can be paid to any Journalist. We arc too much flattered by such a c ommunication, wrung from an opponent, to point out the errors of ,our Contem porary's criticism. We will merely state far his informa tion that the writer of the article is not a.t:csuit, either in or out of disguise, and that has a much wanner attachment to the genuine pri:iciples of Pro testantism than any of those who in its name preach the doctrines, and practise all the worst: abominations, of Romanism armed with secular power.. Our hosti lity to the Established Church arises tro.in our hatred of Popery, which it so closely resemblt:s. We insert to-day a letter from the Rev. THOMAS BA RC LAY, Minister of Lerwick, in Shetland, to the Rev. Dr. CItoMBIE, one of the Ser:Tetaries of the London Committee for the Relief of Destitution in the Highlands and Islands of Scotlaull, on which we think it unnecessary to make any comment. Our columns shall be open to the Doctor's reply. In the leading article respecting 1:11e Bungay pro ceedings, in The Sun of Saturday, ti rcre is a mistake in the punctuation of a sentence, 't vhich alters the meaning. Instead of— " We here fled his Worship figuring a'ff.n interpreter of the law, an auctioneer, a Tory canvasser, chec7.;-clerk, &c. at county elections. One Spalt by name, ge is the job of selling the goods," &c. By transposing the full point, it wi lI run thus— "We here find his Worship figuring as an interpreter of the law. An auctioneer, a Tory canvasses check clerk, &c., at county elections, one Spall by name, g ets the job of sell. ing," &c. We may add that this SPALL acids to his other ' occupations that of Collector of Chur ch-rates. The birth of the Count of PAltrs almost exclu sively monopolises the columns of the: French Journals of Sunday. On Saturday the KING xeceived the con gratulations of the Diplomatic Body„ the Judges, and the Municipality of Paris. The add ress of the latter was read by the Prefect of the Sein .e, at whose ap proach the Royal infant was carried in a cradle to the Hall of Audience, and partially s urrounded by the several Members of the Royal Famil y. We give the address, with his MAJESTY'S ansvt rer, and though more delicacy might have been observ( id by the Repub lican Journals, we are not surprisi id to find in them the Prefect's servile allusion to the Sword of Louis PHILIPPE, made the subject of son ie -very bitter sar casms. The Municipality of Paris presented the son of NAPOLEON with a cradle, and 112:d they, instead of a sword, provided a rattle for the gr arrdson of Louis PHILIPPE, they would have evinced: a more extensive acquaintance with the wants and the: ?necessary amuse ments of babyhood : " Sire,—The city of Paris saw your bi rtls. It was the first to hail and proclaim your royalty. It cc woes to-day, through the organ of its Municipal Magistrates, t D c ongratulate your Majesty on an event which gives France a new pledge of sta bility for your dynasty, and security for t lie country. " The Municipal Corps of Paris, Sire„ has to render you its thanks, for having yourself announced to it this happy news. It is profoundly touched and grateful for th is. It is no less so for the sentiment, Sire, which has inspire td your Majesty in the choice of the title of the Count of Paris, which you have given to the first-born of your eldest son. To this title belong glo rious recollections for this city. It is sf good omen to the Prince who bears it. It is a tie more be tween him and us. " As soon as the news was known at t he Hotel de Ville, the Municipal Council met. It has voted l nslalic rejoicings, and the gift of a sword to the Count of Paris.. This sword, in the opinion of the Municipal Corps, should :neither recall that of Charlemagne, or that of Napoleon. To the spirit of con q uest has succeeded ' that of order and liberty, which your reign causes to be loved and esteemed. Permit us to say, Sire, it is a sword similar to the one of Louis Philippe which we bring to his grandson, which only starts from its scabbard for the de fence of our territory and institution s—the sword of the Prince, who knows, at the same time, bow to make himself respected by Europe, and to consolidate in France the reign of liberty under the laws. " Sire, the city of Paris rejoices for Welt' and for France ; but it also experiences a lively joy in thi eking of the happiness this new gift of Providence brings to your august house. It sympathises with the emotions of the young Princess, whom it last year welcomed with transports ; of that Prince Royal, whose noble and brilliant qualities it so well appreciates; of that Queen whom we all love and admire, but whom mothers alone may well understand. It sympathises, Sire, with your heart of Father and King. Accept these congratulations and desires, and that the whole world may know how the city of Paris is happy at that which makes you so, which consolidates the institutions of France, and the dynasty to which she has entrusted her destinies." The King replied— . I am sensibly touched by the sentiments which the city of Paris evinces for me on this event, and of which you arc the worthy organ. It is very sweet to me to present to the city of Paris the first-born of my children, in a direct line, the eldest son of him who is called upon after me to ans..vcr to the wishes of the nation, and to ensure their accomplishment. I delight to s ee more and more consolidated, the choice a nd France preserved from the dangers inseparable of the throne by that race of heirs which Pro fovrirodineinc3aell'gvraftnscyine, and which ensures at the same time the trznsmisson of the throne, the maintenance of our laws, of our liberties, and the continuance of that repose and that security so necessary to the happiness of the nation. For myself I have a peculiar satisfaction m giving my grandson the title of Count of Paris. Child of Paris, like myself, he will enjoy the advan tarre of bearing a title which attaches to our native city, in the midst of which I have been educated, as he shall be ; a title which shows all my affection for the city of Paris, and how I appreciate the generous efforts it has ina:le at all tilics to de fend public liberty. It is the patriotism of which it has given so ma iv nroofi to France —it is the devotion it has shown un ' Viva le Rui.') I d,r the most difficult c ircurnstanc:.s—it is, in a word, the con raercous support I have always found in it, which ha, strength ened the confidence in the stabiiity . of my race, by founding it i:i ti! dcfenc 1 and maintenance of our institutions.—( Here y b -o y u c a ' n ie n s ou o n f ce for my g I 1 13 PC to e - ords w ith which you have aecinpanied it will iii; lil n k M . 3 : , j . , L t , s , t ~ f , o ‘ r y at the e interrupted g i ft‘v,l 1) ,. ?

When the KING had concluded, the QUEEN took the infant Prince in her arms, and presented him to the Deputation. The Prefect next congratulated the Duke of ORLEANS upon the birth of the Prince, to which congratulation his Royal Highness made the fol lowing reply:— " I am happy to add my sentiments to those just expressed by the King. I assure you that my son shall be brought up, not as children were formerly, but according to the notions and manners of our times. I shall see that he early learns that the affections of the French are to be won by merit, talent, courage, in short, by virtue. I shall endeavour to render him worthy of his countrymen, and of you who daily set such a good and useful example to this great city." We are rejoiced to learn from the papers of Sunday that the Duchess of ORLEANS manifests every symp tom of a speedy recovery. For a few minutes on Friday night the physicians were alarmed, but the danger appears to have been transient. The following extract from a letter from the fron tiers of Saxony, dated the 16th instant, is copied from the Courrier Francais—a Journal which has recently adopted the politics of the Government : " It is not only at Posen that the authorities talk of conspi racies, and cause arrests. This policy of terror is also em ployed in Poland on a large scale. The very merciful Auto crat has had 400 young men of the first families arrested, of whom the eldest is not nineteen, and amongst whom are chil dren of from 15 to 16. They accuse them of conspiracy, but there is nothing in it. The Poles know too well that success is impossible and punishment certain whilst Europe remains indifferent to their sufferings. Terror in that unhappy coun try freezes up even the thoughts. Do not then believe in these plots, which the German Papers in the pay of Russia spread. The Emperor wants these to be believed, to give an appearance of justice to this frightful system of transporta tion. Every year he regularly diminishes the Polish youth by sending them to war in the Caucasus, or to die of cold and hunger in Siberia. He would only leave in Poland old men and children; the citadels he has built at the gates of War saw do not inspire him with confidence." The following are extracts from the French Journals : A horrible accident lately took place at Hall, in the Tyrol. It was on the 18th. Numbers of the Tyrolese, going to Inn spruck, passed the night in a large building undergoing repa ration, and propped up for the moment. For the sake of room some imprudent persons removed one or two of the props, and the consequence was the falling in of the building, by which 21 persons were killed and a great number wounded. Our correspondent at Toulon tells us that assassinations are increasing in a frightful manner in the North of Africa : " On the 25th July there were found in the environs of Oran, the dead bodies of seven Jews, who had been beheaded. These unfortunate persons were coming from the tribe of Oriated Ali, with goods, which were stolen. The mules were found with their hamstrings cut." Abd-el-Kader had not returned from his expedition to the south, and his partisans were uneasy on his account. It is said, however, that the Emir has succeeded in undermining the walls of Ain Maids, but the tribes which are hostile to him have intercepted the communications, so that no official news of the expedition had been received for a long time at Tekerierept —Le Constitutionitel. Accounts from Oran say that news very unfavourable to Abd-el-Kadcr had keen received flere. Some say that he has been obliged to raise the seine or blockade of Ain-Maide after considerable losses of both men and material. Others say that Abd-el-Keder has succeeded in capturing one of the chiefs of the Tuaruks, and his family, whom he detains as hostages, notwithstanding which he had been obliged to aban don his enterprise in conseqnence of the great desertion that has taken place in his army, and of the resistance of the Arabs of the Desert whom he had expected to be able to gain to his party. Whatever truth there may be in these accounts, it is certain that the expedition against Ain-Maide has not yet suc ceeded, and that the credit of Abd-t1 Keeler is already visibly impaired by it. Sinse his absence the Arabs communicate with our towns and ports, carry on trade, and an intercourse has since been established between Tlernecen and Oran which wall be advantageous if it continues. Several small consign moats of goods of French manufacture have been sent to Tle mecen.—Le Commerce. HANOVER. Ace. 23.—His Majesty the King arrived here at three o'clock this afternoon in excellent health, returning 'rom Neutrelitz by way of Magdeburg.—Hanover Gazette. The Madrid Journals of the 19th inst. represent the Government as greatly distressed for want of money. The Ministers were prepared to mortgage the revenues of the country at any sacrifice, to meet the more urgent of the demands made upon them ; but even on the most ruinous conditions they could only obtain bills payable in instalments, wholly inadequate to supply the wants of the army. They had, however, the good fortune to obtain from the present army contractors a fresh contract for the supply of the army for four months longer, whether the money be or be not forthcoming.

At a General Quarterly Meeting of the Provident Friend Society, on Friday, Aug. 24, held at Mr. Bullock's, t h e Rising Sun, Waterloo -town, Bethnal-green, the Chair man, in concluling his rAtiress to the members, delivered birmelf to the following effect :—" Gentlemen, in saying this m uch, I will conclude by calling your attention to another ;sell-known fact—that so as the small acorn produces the laity and majestic oak, so may this our small beginning - go on in creasing, that like the branches of the oak it may spread its benign influence far and wide, and that whilst it offers shelter and assistance to the less fortunate in health and circumstances, it will be a matter of proud satisfaction to the more fortunate part of its melnbers to find their labcurs so well rewarded in tieing enablad to oEr an helping hand to their fellow man.' CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) 1 THE KENTISH WATERING PLACE• OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. ) THE CASE OF ➢ITERS AND POW. Mrs. Pow surrendered to take her trial at ten o'clock to day; Myers was called, but did not surrender. Angelina Pow was then placed at the bar, and charged with the wilful murder of her husband, to which she pleaded Not Guilty, in a firm voice. Mr. PRENDERGAST stated that Myers, having given notice of his intention to surrender, he thought justice could not be done till Myers had surrendered. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET said that the Court could not com pel the parties to be tried together. Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips, Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Thomas for the prisoner. Mr. PRENDERGAST stated the case for the prosecution to the Jury. The case he was about to lay before the Jury was one of great importance, and one which, if the pri soner was convicted, would be attended with fatal conse quences to her. The charge against the prisoner was the wilful murder of her husband, John Davidson Pow. The pri soner and her husband had led a dissolute life for married people; they had been residing at a house of ill-fame, where Mr. Pow was much addicted to drinking, and in which he was encouraged by the prisoner and Myers. His excessive drinking brought on delirium tremens, of which ultimately he died. The treatment he had received during his illness would be the subject of consideration to-day. The prisoner at the bar, instead of attending to the deceased as a married woman generally did, left him in the care of other persons, and suf fered him to take large quantities of gin. By the direction of the prisoner medicines were administered to the deceased, but whether they were of a noxious kind they were left in doubt, as the bottles had been destroyed. The question for the Jury was, whether the administration of ardent spirits by the prisoner had caused the death of the deceased, or whether it took place from natural causes ? He would show to the Jury that the prisoner had expressed a hope that the life of her husband would soon terminate ; there was very little doubt that at the time of the death of her husband she was keeping up an improper intimacy with Myers, and had repeatedly been seen to enter a house of ill-fame in Black Horse-court, Fleet street, with him. The Learned Counsel then adverted to some of the other minor facts of the case, and was about to call witnesses, when he was interrupted by Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, who said, as he understood it, the prosecution did not profess to have ascertained the cause of death. He wished to know to what the evidence on the part of the prosecution went. Mr. PRENDERGAST said he had shortly stated the case to the Jury, and the evidence he had to bring forward would not go further than that statement. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET said that he had read all the depo sitions most carefully, and he could not gather from them any proof of the cause of death. Under these circumstances he thought it would be uselessly occupying the time of the Court and Jury with proceeding further with the case. The Jury then, under the direction of the Learned Judge, Acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner was again indicted on the Coroner's warrant, but, no evidence being adduced, she was again Acquitted. SKETCHED ON THE SPOT IN WATEE-COLOURS. Listen, Gentles, while I trace The features, free from all grimace, Of s. Kentish watering place. Ribbed sands whose space all vision mocks, Stretching 'neath chalky cliffs or rocks, Where the ladies, grouped in pairs, Sit at ease in wooden chairs, Looking at the sea each minute, And the men who're bathing in it, Though apparently intent On some tale of sentiment ; Scared maid-servants scampering rueful From the sea's edge with a shoe-full, While, near them, donkeys, patient hacks, Trot with boys upon their backs ; Crowds fast hurrying to the pier To see the steam-boats, lying near, Get under weigh for foreign towns, With lots of Joneses, Smiths, and Browns; — Flies and vans in long array t. Standing on the busy quay, Whose horses look of aspect thinner Than a poet without dinner ; Four or five young City swells Lounging outside their hotels, And passing judgment frank and free On each pretty face they see; — Tars hitching up their spacious breeches (Which constitute their only riches) As they pace, just saved from wreck, Some high-moor'd collier's dingy deck ; Yachts with tapering masts like willows, Bobbing up and down the billows, Whose every motion fiercely jogs The ladies in them, sick as dogs ; Eight bouncing brats and their mamma, With (on the coach-box) their papa, Crammed in one carriage, drawn, of course, By one poor, spectral-looking horse, Rattling along the cliffs to see Some bit of dandy scenery, Famed for its views by land and water, Its inn, its shrimps, and bottled porter;— Young ladies raffling in bazaars For fancy-boxes, rings, and spars, Or listening raptured to such music As sure would make both me and you sick, Sung by a syren whose arched nose is Clear proof of her descent from Moses ; Others upon the Cliff parade, By its zephyrs undismayed, (Though each one takes, as past it floats, Strange freedoms with their petticoats, Developing, 'twill make you laugh, Here an ancle, there a calf,) Stand, in the gracefullest of slopes, Staring at France through telescopes:— Such are the features one may trace In a Kentish watering place, To which there's nought I can compare Save John Bunyan's Vanity Fair, Where men and women fooled away, With equal zest, the live-long day. Sweetest spot unmixed with bitters, \Vhare all is purest gold that glitters, Folly never need to roam While she's got a welcome home, And can bear herself with grace In a Kentish watering place THE ~ SOULT AND WELLINGT SUN."

NEW COURT. Samuel Bottomley, a young man in the garb of a labourer, was indicted for having stolen a whip, value 25., the property of Thomas Bray, a carman. The prisoner was either deaf and dumb, or pretended to be so ; and the Jury had, in the course of the Session, been em pannclled to ascertain whether the prisoner was mute by an act of God, or mute from malice. They were of opinion the pri soner was mute from malice. On the prisoner being placed at bar this morning he was interrogated by two persons con nected with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and they expressed an opinion that the prisoner was not of sound mind, or that he was mute from perv , ,Tsencss. The prosecutor ;aid he left his whip for a short time in the passage of a house in Leadenhall-street, and that on searching for his whip he found it in the hands of the prisoner. A boy named Solomons said be saw the prisoner take it. The - Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The COMMON- SEIWEANT said the prisoner had been tried before for stealing whips, for which he seemed to have a great predilection. He thought the prisoner was not altogether of a sound mind. One of the witnessls said the prisoner's father sold whips. The CONINION. SERGEANT -Oh, that alters the case. The mother of the prisoner, and a person who had known the prisoner for some time, stated that his intellect was pretty good, but that his organs of speech and hearing were defective. The COMMON- SERGRA NT said he should postpone judgment on the prisoner till the next session. GUILDHA LL-(THIS DAY.) ALTERATION IN THE HOURS OF BUSINESS.—The time of commencing business at this office has been changed from twelve o'clock to half past ten—a change which would cer tainly be very advantageous to the public if punctually at tended to. We suspect, however, that the alteration will be anything but beneficial if the sitting Alderman does not attend before half past eleven ; we would suggest to the authorities that if they wish to ensure punctuality on the part of the public, the best way to do so is to set a proper example by com mencing business at the appointed hour. Joseph Squire, about 18 years of age. was brought before Mr. Alderman VENABLES, under the following suspicious cir cumstances : Mr. Henry Woodhouse, of 26, Wood -street, Cheapside, stated, that yesterday afternoon, he observed the prisoner come into his warehouse, and having some suspicion of his intention, in consequence of some articles having been stolen, he en quired what he wanted. The prisoner asked if Mr. Johnson lived there. Witness then asked the prisoner's name and ad dress. The prisoner replied Joseph Squire, and stated that he resided with his uncle in Spitalfields. Witness then asked what Mr. Johnson he wanted, and he replied Mr. Johnson, of Fleet-street. He then sent for a policeman, who having made enquiries as to the prisoner's residence, found that he had given a false account. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, the question was whether the prisoner was not in the warehouse with the intention of com mitting felony. The prisoner in his defence said that he had done nothing. Mr. Alderman VENABLES—Who is Mr. Johnson ?—I don't know. Mr. Alderman VENABLES—Why go there to enquire for a Mr. Johnson whom you don't know ? The prisoner declined giving on answer, and was remanded. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Richard Ralph, 16, Clare-court, Drury-lane, was charge( by Mr. Richard Ward, 48, Castle-street, Leicester-square, with wantonly and furiously driving a van last night at nine o'clock along the Strand. Sir F. ROE inquired if any person, who was a sufferer by such conduct, appeared to complain against the defendant ? The witness replied, that seeing a respectable looking female knocked down and seriously injured, he considered it his duty to prefer the complaint, and after he had assisted in lifting her up, she with difficulty said her name was Mary Anne Taylor, residing at Bennet's-hill, Doctors' Commons. A coach was instantly procured, and being conveyed home, she was visited by Mr. Giles, a surgeon, who found several bruises upon her, and sent a certificate produced, to the effect that she was by no means out of danger. Sir F. ROE ordered further inquiries to be made into the circumstance, with a view to procure further evidence, when the defendant would again be brought up, and the van and horse should be detained until the condition of the female was known. An order has been received by the Magistrates of this office that the prisoners convicted by them in future shall be guarded by the new police officers in their being conveyed to their places of destination, in new vans, with separate apartments, constructed for the purpose. The gaolers of the several offices have heretofore performed this duty, but they are in future to be engaged only in placing the prisoners at the bar, and in making out the returns to be delivered by the police officers on the arrival of the vans at the prisons. The vans are also ordered to take the prisoners twice daily instead of once, as has been the case. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD. Good supplies, and a good business done.

These departments of business continue very quiet, and al together the market is without interest. British Plantation Sugar sells slowly, and prices are not firm. Double Crushed Refined Sugar is not now worth more than 335. To-day we have public sales of 3,000 bags of Mauritius, and 2,270 bags of Bengal Sugar, both of which did not sell with spirit, and prices, where attend, not so good as they were. In fact, the Sugar Market appears to be giving . way. Coffee, 38 bags Brazil, and 39 bags Ceylon, sold with spirit at pre vious rates. About fifty puncheons Demerara Molasses were put up to sale , but t his commodity is affected by the raw Sugar market. The market for spices is tolerably firm ; some small quantities of Pepper were sold to-day. The largest mice sale to-day was that of ab-ut 5,000 bags East India Ginger. The whole did not sell. We do not quote any great alteration in prices. For to-morrow we have public sales of Saltpetre, 3,429 bags; Rico, 500 bags ; and Ginger, 1,744 bags East India. The imports are nit heavy. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 27. A mod: rate quantity of Cotton was Failed with to-day, th e entire sales amounting to 3,000 bags.
